A little further east there are less choices to go...so we finally made our way to Congregation Azusa chapter.
The first time we stopped by we didn't stay. It was actually just like what we thought it would be. LOUD and CROWDED. It was a tuesday night, and I wasn't feeling all that great, so we left and tried a small chinese place that is now one of our favorites Tasty BBQ Kitchen . That place deserves its own post!
I went to the Congregation websites a few times afterward and we decided to try again for a happy hour. Drinks are still on the pricier end, and they don't have any beers we like, and the ones that are on the border of being okay might be removed from the menu -- they're taking away lagers. Sorry folks. I just hate the hops.
But I digress. The food there is actually really good.
duck and bacon sausage. Meaty and delicious. Joe's staple order here now and possibly the best sausage he's ever had.
Carnitas Pizza - good, but needs something...some kind of dipping sauce - it was actually really good dipped in the garlic rosemary mayo i got to accompany my onion strings
Onion Strings with Garlic Rosemary Mayo and Sweet Chili Sour Cream - these were good, but i wouldn't order them again. Too difficult to eat. Too difficult to dip. Tater tots and chips still win the side battle here.
Chips with Sweet Chili Sour Cream and Pesto Ranch dips. There's just something about crispy chips and sweet chili sour cream
Braised short rip sandwich - it was good. Nice flavor and horseradish sauce, but I would be mad if i paid full price for it. Its definitely too small.
One mark down - the service has been REALLY SLOW!!! At times I think there was one person both running food and taking orders at the counter. We were going to order another beer, but there was no staff on the floor and the line at the counter was atleast 3 deep, of which we had to wait in line anyway to close out. Hopefully management will adjust schedules or hire more staff.
We'll be coming here for happy hours to eat, but you won't be seeing me here on Tuesday nights (trivia night) or anytime its crowded and loud.
PS - they also have a really good jukebox that is not priced all crazy.
